Does the ultimate mash-up of rock and video games sing a pretty tune?
Prepare to headbang your way into glory with these metal-infused games. You'll find yourself flipping your hair in pure excitement.
The Humble Day of the Devs Bundle 2022 just launched. It includes sixteen items including Psychonauts, Brutal Legend, Broken Age, and more.
The world of Brutal Legend looks like something a 14 year-old metal head would draw on their notebook while not paying attention.
Liked the aesthetic, tone, humor, and action combat.
Didn't care for the RTS elements.
Never cared to finish it.
Yeah they marketed the game like it was a Heavy Metal GTA-ish adventure. And at the beginning of the game that's what it was. The game fell apart when the half-baked RTS stuff came in. I'd be interested in a reboot or sequel, but just go full action adventure and ditch the RTS. There really is something there with the Heavy Metal theme.
PS360 gen was special, then again it was still the mid 2000s. Everything went to shite in the teens
I think that was the breaker for Doublefine's creative ambitions and their mixing of genres (which was getting kinda stale). It was a nice to look at but it was more of a tribute to the many things Tim loves, was influenced by and has great admiration for....but the forced RTS stuff was like a drinking buddy's "great idea" that never should have come to light. The game seemed a lot more vast, but it ended pretty quickly too. And Jack Black. As much as I don't care for him as an actor (annoying and requires constant attention), this was absolutely made with him in mind and it worked. I mean come on, Tenacious D? For as Metal as this game was trying to be, even comically, it did little more than meow.
Might be a good game to pick up latter next year during the lul of games. Amazing how many great games are coming out this holiday season. Ps3 gets Uncharted 2, Demon Souls, Ratchet and mulitplats. Xbox 360 gets Forza, Halo and multiplats. Wii has Wii fit plus, MG2 and multiplats. So many good games this holiday season. Only 12 days till Borderlands!
